I was taught to spin by my sister in the back of a car on the way to the Taos Wool festival 15 years ago because "there is no reason to go to a wool festival unless you can shop."

After that, the bug bit,and I did it the hard way by deciding that I needed to learn it all from the ground up (the first sheep I sheared is probably still in therapy) to learning one of the more diffficult, obscure and highly traditional form of weaving a finished product.

Felting came as a form of using up the scruff from sorting and carding the fleece and is so instant gratification fast that it hardly counts.

My husband (also a spinner and weaver) and I have three wheels we share, an Ashford Joy, and Peacock (forerunner of an ashford tiny tim) and a Bosworth Journey wheel, along with The Sag Guys' looms ( 4) my weaving and Navajo Frame looms (6) plus far too many hand spindles to to count- plus we are guardians for the local guilds' looms, spinning wheels and fiber processing and felitng equipment - Maybe that's why we only have one road bike each.

Now, back to the real thread about felting and riding and quilting and what not.
